Norway are the day's most usable World Cup favourite

FIFA's official match centre confirms Iraq and Norway meet on Tuesday in Boston, and the cleaner betting side is Norway to win.

The logic starts with match profile. FIFA's Matchday 6 preview puts this fixture among the day's notable World Cup games, and Norway arrive with the kind of attacking ceiling that makes the straight winner line more attractive than forcing a more complicated market. Iraq can keep phases compact, but over ninety minutes Norway look likelier to create the clearer chances.

For a daily football tip, this is a practical selection rather than a decorative one. Norway do not need extra dressing here. If they play to their level, the direct win is enough.
